We are not close to type 1 and are unlikely to ever become one.
The problem is that the majority human configuration is too immature, irrational, and irresponsible to survive the level of technology that makes up a type 1 civilization; we would undoubtedly destroy ourselves.
At the current configuration, we can't sustain the current social level and are in the process of reversion to a tribal, shame based society.
If the species survives this process, and those iterations to follow, there could be a chance mutation that allows for a human configuration that sustains and responsibly advances technology. The best bet is using technology to modify willing humans into the required configuration.
Other options are to create synthetic humans and/or super sentient intelligences with the required properties. They could lead the way and manage us until we catch up.
